Joel 2:2-5
New International Version
2 a day of darkness(A) and gloom,(B)
a day of clouds(C) and blackness.(D)
Like dawn spreading across the mountains
a large and mighty army(E) comes,
such as never was in ancient times(F)
nor ever will be in ages to come.
3 Before them fire(G) devours,
behind them a flame blazes.
Before them the land is like the garden of Eden,(H)
behind them, a desert waste(I)—
nothing escapes them.
4 They have the appearance of horses;(J)
they gallop along like cavalry.
5 With a noise like that of chariots(K)
they leap over the mountaintops,
like a crackling fire(L) consuming stubble,
like a mighty army drawn up for battle.
